The Lab Next Door (Ikatlong Pinto)
"I loved you...in ways I know how."
~~***~~
In a lab, there are manuals on how to do an experiment. There's a standard, step-by-step process and an expected result.
But in love, there's no such thing as manuals. Love can come in different ways. Love can be shown on different sides. Two people, who are so different, can still feel the same attraction to each other. Love could still bloom.
Calliope Mitchelle Agustin and Nikolai Altheo Garcia are two people with contrasting personalities and different outlooks in life. Nikolai is silent. Calliope is loud. Nikolai is meticulous and serious. He wants things planned out. Calliope is spontaneous and fun. A ball of sunshine who goes with the flow in everything. Nikolai lives for the future. Cal lives in the moment.
For Calliope, these differences will not hinder her from getting Nikolai's attention. She has been crushing over him since they met in their chem lab class. From then on, she often approaches Nikolai in their ME lab, which happens to be just next to the chem lab, and tries to get the guy's attention.
Will she be able to prove that opposites do attract?
Let's say she will. After all, it has been said that despite the differences between two people, love could still bloom.
But the real question is...will it last?
